COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -
How much would
you pay for valet parking at the Columbus Civic Center?
Hold on to your answer and see how it
compares to the price a company is planning to charge.
As News Leader 9's Roslyn Giles reports, city
leaders gave an Atlanta company the green light to start the
service.
Ten bucks will get you out
of your car at the Civic Center door and leave the troubles of finding a park
to someone else.
Quality parking and valet
management of Atlanta already provide the service at the RiverCenter and the Trade
Center. After the car is parked, a crew makes sure the vehicles are safe.
We hit the streets to get
reaction from people...and the responses we got were unanimous.
"I think $5. That's
way it's more affordable and you get more people."
"Ten dollars is too
steep."
"I don't think we
should pay $10 when we already pay to get into the events there."
"Why pay $10 when you
can just walk down to the Civic Center?"
The Civic Center will
receive two dollars from each transaction. That means the company will
make an $8 profit per car valet.
Parking is optional, and
there is no word on a starting date.
We spoke to the owner at Quality
Parking and Valet Management. He sounded very excited about expanding his
services here in Columbus and told us he introduced valet parking at Six
Flags Over Georgia six years ago and it's still going strong.
So, would you pay $10
for a valet to park your car at the Columbus Civic Center? Chime in on this
discussion on our Facebook page and tell us what you think.
